It has become a trend in social media apps to copy various features of their competitors. Recently, YouTube made an unsurprising attempt to test the Tik-Tok-style Recommendations tab. A Reddit user even shared a screenshot of a new one YouTube Music interface with a “Samples” tab. It clearly shows a vertically scrolling feed of music videos, just like Tik-Tok.
YouTube Music interface will soon be like Tik-Tok
Reports claim that the new section will be located between the Home and Explore tabs. In addition, it will use a completely new icon with two overlapping play buttons instead of the YouTube Shorts logo. The Samples tab probably throws you into a bottomless hole of videos, just like Shorts. However, it is still unknown whether this is a condensed version of YouTube’s TikTok clone or another place in YouTube Music to showcase music videos in a vertical format.
However, let me tell you that the new interface will feature a few different buttons not found in Shorts. It contains one button to add a video to your playlist. Then there’s a dedicated Shorts button, which takes you to the YouTube app’s short video feed. The new tab currently appears to be part of limited A/B testing in Brazil. The Reddit user revealed that he is running version 6.02.53 of YouTube Music.
